Yeah, while material and social conditions matter, turns out having a fucking Conscience wasn't invented in 1965. Have a look at what this Dominican friar said about the situation in 1542.

Basically "What you are doing is so evil you pretty much can't be forgiven for it, it's essentially not having faith in Jesus, so fuck you, you're excommunicated, and you're never getting back in. Go to hell, literally."

I love using this kind of stuff against the "it was a different time" circle-jerk historians.
